This unique three-bedroom detached house on Deerbolt Bank enjoys direct, striking views across to Barnard Castle. The house combines mid‑century character—large picture windows, brick facade and raised terrace—with recent internal updates such as a newly fitted kitchen and comfortable living spaces including a snug and conservatory.
The layout spans a ground and lower ground floor, offering flexible family accommodation: open-plan living/dining with a multi‑fuel stove, a ground-floor study/bedroom, two further bedrooms below, and useful ancillary rooms including a home office, cloakroom and garage. The terraced rear garden and patio are well planted and sit at a slightly lower level, creating a private outdoor area that maximises the castle view.
Buyers should note several material issues: the property lies in a high flood‑risk zone and is in an area reported with higher crime levels; broadband speeds are very slow. The building dates from c.1967–75 with cavity walls assumed uninsulated and double glazing fitted before 2002, so further energy improvements may be required to raise efficiency and comfort.
This home will suit families or purchasers seeking character, space and an exceptional outlook who are prepared to accept the location trade‑offs and invest selectively in insulation, connectivity and ongoing flood‑risk management. The large plot, garage and off‑street parking add practical value, while the flexible internal plan gives scope for modest reconfiguration or modernisation (subject to consents).
